Abstract :
Periodic data for determining the DMFT index in 12-year-old children showed that the index had a significant improvement in different periods of its measurement during 25 years after the integration of oral health services in primary health care and was relatively stable. In order to improve this index, it is necessary to provide electronic care and services based on risk assessment of dental caries and attention to MIH in the primary health care systems.
